More than 1,000 firefighters are still working to keep the Goodwin Fire from reaching dozens of homes south of Prescott. The 25,000-acre blaze is now 43 percent contained.

Public Information Officer Gerry Perry said fire officials look at what’s called the Hanes Index to determine how to fight the fire. The index measures factors like heat and humidity and ranges from one to worst case scenario, six. On Friday, it was rated a five.
